COLTS ARE COMPLETE
MATT Marson is heading back to Belle Vue in the WSRA National Development League this season and will be joined by speedway returnee Chad Wirtzfeld.
Marson rode for the Colts in 2023 whilst Wirtzfeld is back in the sport after previous spells with the Isle of Wight and Eastbourne before he concentrated on the Grasstrack and Long Track scene.
Club CEO Mark Lemon said: “Matt was one of those who we were very keen to see return to Manchester this year, and with a full year of racing the NSS under his belt I’m sure we can count on even bigger things from him.
“Although Chad has not ridden Speedway much in the last two seasons, the skills he has picked up from Grasstrack and Long Track will transfer very nicely onto the shale.
“He’s a young man with a lot of potential and talent an more importantly for us, he wanted to join the Colts. This year will be a big test for him on his return to the shale, but Chad has all the right ingredients to do well.
“The emphasis in this league is very much on development and we’re excited to have such a spirited bunch of lads racing in our colours in 2024.”
BELLE VUE COLTS 2024 (Subject to approval): Sam Hagon, Freddy Hodder, Matt Marson, Luke Muff, Chad Wirtzfeld, Harry McGurk, Jack Shimelt.
